Davenport 7/9

Not much action but fun time regardless. Took some in-laws out for the morning hoping for them to score on a nice ling or something, but all we could mange was a few nice sized black RF. We used various swimbaits in both dark & light colors & some iron. I did bring up a just barely legal cabezon, but released it because it was just to pretty to eat ( I gotta get a kayak digi camera). Only got about an hour on the water before the wind & swell became too much to deal with, although the fish were still hitting. If we'd had another hour I'll bet we'd have had our lingcod. Anyway we scraped a tasty fish taco dinner for 4 out of what we had caught, so who can complain?
Oh yeah, and talked to a surfer who told us a great story about a guy who mooched, I mean brought, in a 22lb halibut on his kayak last week in similary ugly conditions, right there at the landing. Hmmm, I thought, think I might know that guy he was talking about...
I'll probably try again next weekend somewhere, gotta keep up on the artistic research don' 'cha know. My November art show will have several new yak fishing inspired carvings.
